What do the pro-Glennon people see in him? Feb 28 2014, 12:47pm Mike Glennon's girlfriend Jess WetherillI want to start this out with this disclaimer: I do hope the Bucs upgrade the QB position, I don't think Mike Glennon is very good and I don't think he will ever become a top shelf QB. But this doesn't mean that I wouldn't be happy if Glennon does become a top shelf QB. If he can then that's all the better for the Bucs and I will be happy with him. I just don't think it will happen. But aside from that I'm having a hard time understanding the Pro-Glennon viewpoint. A lot of the things that people talk about in support of him are: 1. His TD:INT ratio, his completion percentage and his QB rating. •Sander has written an article about misleading statistics. And statistics are not the best indicator of how good a player is. Game film has shown that he isn't a good QB. He doesn't excel at reading coverages and isn't good with ball placement. 2. He had a terrible team around him and a lot injuries. •Every team has to deal with injuries and overcome them. They should never be an excuse. As for the terrible team, this team was far better than the completely devoid of talent 2009 Buccaneers that Josh Freeman had to deal with, yet he showed the potential for being a top shelf QB with his comeback win over the Packers. 3. Lovie Smith took Rex Grossman to the Superbowl. And we won the Superbowl with Brad Johnson. •Yes these things are true. But the likelihood of those things happening in today's NFL which has become a QB driven league are very low. Lovie Smith was fired in part for his lack of getting a QB who is more than a game manager. 4. You guys gave Freeman 5 years why not give Glennon more than 13 games? •Again Freeman showed some potential even in his rookie season (comeback win against the Packers). Glennon hasn't shown the same potential. Plus there wasn't really any chances to upgrade that spot during Freeman's time. 5. Greg Cosell says he is a better pocket passer than RG3. •That doesn't mean anything. RG3 has never had to be a pocket passer until this past season. His rookie season and in college he never had to do it. Mike Glennon has had experience with it working in a pro-style offense in college. Based off of that he should be the better pocket passer. Also being the better pocket passer at the moment doesn't mean he is overall a better QB. 6. He was the best of the rookie QBs last year. •Being the best of the worst QB draft class doesn't say much. 7. He was playing in a terrible system. He had terrible coaching. •This is probably the best argument for him but even then there are some faults. This means we should probably ignore what he did last season. And we should use his senior season at NC State to look at him. His strengths coming out of NC state were: cannon arm, good mechanics, book smart, height. His weaknesses coming out of NC State were: bad decision making, doesn't have good accuracy, inconsistent, throws a lot of interceptions, a statue in the pocket, etc. So using that he still doesn't come out as someone we should bank on becoming a top shelf QB. And his last season wasn't as good as the seasons the top QBs in this draft had. 8. He looked good in the no huddle offense against the 49ers. •You're saying two drives was enough to prove something to you. This while saying 13 games is not enough to evaluate him? 9. Give Glennon a year if he doesn't improve we can just get another QB in the next draft. •According to Lovie Smith a good defense and good special teams can get you to around 10 wins. Assuming we aren't going to do anywhere near as bad as this year, what makes you think we will be in a position to draft a good QB next year? And if you saying we can trade up, wouldn't it be better to trade up this year when we have a higher pick which means it shouldn't cost us as much? 10. Jeff Tedford is amazing at developing QBs. •Yes he was amazing at developing QBs, in college. Most of those QBs though weren't successful in the NFL. But besides that he is unproven in the NFL. We have no idea how good he will be. The argument using Jeff Tedford is a lot of just hope. •Also say he is really good at developing QBs then why don't you think it would be a good idea to draft a top QB from this draft and see what he can do with them? They have more talent for him to work with. And one last one regarding why they wouldn't draft a QB. 11. I don't like any of the top 3 QBs in the draft, even if we were to try and upgrade the QB spot. •I have seen people ask for why pro-Glennon people don't like the top 3 QBs, and yet those questions have gotten no responses. People say Bortles wouldn't even be considered as a top QB if mariota and hundley hadn't stayed in school. And I say Bortles came on strong towards the end of the year. And yes it is true that QBs are pushed up in the draft, but then why wasn't Glennon pushed up in last year's draft? Why was there only one QB taken in the first round last year? Also if...

They wanted their QB to have a hot GF because it showed he had the alpha male personality to be a reader. I am not sanctioning this point of view since I think Kurt Warner strongly disproved this theory.

I am not sanctioning this point of view since I think Kurt Warner strongly disproved this theory. M Its a similar theory to Coach Franklin at Penn St (formerly Vandy). He said he would never hire a coach who didnt have a hot wife. He said any coach he hires has to be able to recruit and sell at a high level. If the guy cant sell himself to a hot woman, he wont be able to sell a "smart school" to elite athletes. That interview I read made me like him immediately.

I've been reading my whole life and I don't have a hot GF. :-( Posted : Mar. 3, 2014 9:59 am Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest They wanted their QB to have a hot GF because it showed he had the alpha male personality to be a reader. does that explain Bortles moving to the top of many draft charts? Posted : Mar. 3, 2014 10:02 am Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Who said he played well? He was the quarterback of the last place offense/passing attack. Pretty sure I mentioned that. Not well. No, not well at all. What is the source of your stats at the end? I'd be interested in looking at those. He was last amongst regular starters in yards per pass attempt (unless you count Cousins or Freeman as regular starters). I show the Bucs as 26th in pass team pass attempts and pass attempts per game (Freeman's 3 games being pretty much identical in terms of average attempts per game). https://www.pewterreport.com/Boards/index.php/topic,1313655.msg2133584.html#msg2133584 http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/quarterback-air-yards/2013/ Posted : Mar. 3, 2014 10:04 am
